The residence Belmonte Vacanze is located in the surrounding countryside of Montaione (province of Florence) in the heart of Tuscany. San Gimignano and Volterra are just 15 minutes by car and you can reach other major destinations such as Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca in less than one hour driving and other less well-known destinations such as Certaldo, Monteriggioni, Vinci, San Miniato, Colle Val d'Elsa and the “Costa degli Etruschi”, probably the best seaside in Tuscany.

Belmonte Vacanze is located on a hilly promontory in between two beautiful valleys (Val d'Elsa and Val d'Era) offering a breathtaking view and a always temperate and cool climate. In fact, Belmonte dominates from its 300 meters, on the one hand, the ancient Etruscan town of Volterra and, on the other hand, only fifteen minutes drive away, San Gimignano, with its magnificent medieval towers, listed as a Unesco World Heritage site.

If youyou wish to visit Tuscany by train, the nearest railway station is located only 15 km from the apartments in the town of Castelfiorentino. From here you can reach the center of Florence in just 40 minutes and avoid the stress of serching for parking. This is a great opportunity due to the frequency of trains and the cost of only € 3 per ticket.
